The facility failed to provide daily oatmeal as requested for Resident #43. This failure could place residents at risk for not having their choices and food preferences accommodated, possible weight loss and a diminished quality of life.

She was receiving dialysis (treatment to remove toxins from the blood of patients with kidney failure). During an interview on 11/18/24 at 11:06 AM, Resident #43 stated she did not like the breakfast served at the facility and preferred they just bring her oatmeal every day. She stated she did not like the bacon or eggs she was given. She stated the bacon was too salty for her. She stated she had asked the nurse and the lady that brings me medicine about it more than once but they still brought her the other breakfast and sometimes a small bowl of oatmeal. Resident #43 stated she just wanted a large bowl of oatmeal every day. During an interview on 11/19/24 at 7:25 AM, LVN C stated resident meal preferences were communicated with the dietary staff. She stated, if a resident did not eat their meal, they offered them an alternate meal. She stated, if a resident made a request such as oatmeal, that would be a one-time request and would not replace their regular meal. She stated residents sometimes made requests then forgot they made the request and would be upset the next day when they received the same thing. When asked how a resident would know ahead of time what was planned to be served for lunch or dinner that day, LVN C replied, If they ask us, we can let them know . An observation and interview on 11/19/24 at 8:01 AM revealed the DON was standing near the entrance of the dining room near the menu postings. The DON stated residents were not receiving daily menus in their rooms, but nursing staff could inform any resident what was planned for the day. She stated she did not believe the deadlines of 9 AM and 2 PM were completely accurate. She stated, if a CNA noticed a resident was not eating or did not like the food, they could request an alternate meal for the residents at any time during the meal service and it would be provided .

F 0806 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Resident #43 informed the DON she had previously requested she only wanted oatmeal for breakfast and continued to receive eggs on her plate. She pointed to the grits and eggs. The DON asked the resident if it was possible staff believed it was a request for that particular day only and Resident #43 told her it was not. In an interview on 11/19/24 at 12:20 PM, CNA D stated she had not taken any meal orders from any of the residents. She stated she normally worked on the weekends and was working an extra shift that day. CNA D stated, if a resident complained about the food, they could offer an alternate meal during mealtime. She stated she had not received any special requests from residents. She stated, if a resident wanted a diet change, she should tell the Charge Nurse. In an interview on 11/20/24 at 7:27 AM, LVN C stated Resident #43 had previously told her she liked hot cereal, but she had no idea she meant for every breakfast meal. She stated she thought the request was for that particular meal only. LVN C stated they monitored residents meal intake to ensure they were getting what they wanted, and she had misunderstood the resident's request. She stated the risk of not honoring resident's food preferences included residents not eating, malnutrition, and weight loss. In an interview on 11/20/24 at 12:32 PM, the Dietary Manager stated what had occurred was the menus were posted on the wall outside the dining room and the dietary staff were following whatever diet order was on the ticket. She stated she just started the position the previous week. She stated, What I started today was printing the 'always available' menu and daily menu and I took them to the charge nurses. She stated the nurse should request the menu item or other item and let the dietary staff know. The Dietary Manager stated she preferred to get the lunch requests by 9:00 AM or 10:00 AM so the resident's trays were not delayed, but the residents could order an alternate any time during the meal service. She stated the nurses could enter special request orders at any time to be included on the resident's tickets. The Dietary Manager stated, since she started, she had been walking around the dining room and visiting resident rooms during meals to ask residents how their meals were. She stated she had not received any complaints. She stated the risk of not honoring resident preferences included the residents would be unhappy, not eating, and have potential weight loss . During an interview on 11/20/24 at 1:04 PM, MA E stated Resident #43 had told her about 2 weeks prior that she only wanted oatmeal for breakfast and that she had already told other people, including the previous Dietary Manager, the same thing. MA E stated she recalled telling the previous Dietary Manager herself about the request. She stated she thought she recalled telling the Charge Nurse the same but was unable to recall who she spoke with. MA E stated she did not know her diet order had not been switched. She stated residents sometimes ask her for food items while she was passing medications and she typically told the charge nurse. She stated the risk for residents not receiving their meal preferences were they may stop eating. In an interview on 11/20/24 at 4:00 PM, the Administrator stated she had not received any complaints related to food preferences or meal service. She stated she tested the trays three times a week herself for quality. The Administrator stated, since she started, food service had been their strongest area and they had never had any complaints. She stated there had been staff turnover within dietary services over the past two weeks and there may have been a drop in communications. She stated the risk to residents was they had the right to check the menu and make requests . An email from the Administrator received on 11/20/24 at 3:03 PM revealed the facility did not have a policy related to dietary services and resident preferences.

Residents Affected - Few The facility failed to ensure the call system in Resident #28's room was functioning properly. This could place the residents at risk of not receiving the care and services to maintain their highest level of well-being. Findings included: Record review of Resident #28's Face Sheet, dated 11/20/24, reflected an [AGE] year-old female admitted to the facility on [DATE]. Record review of Resident #28's Quarterly MDS Assessment, dated 9/10/24, reflected she had moderately impaired cognition and required supervision with dressing and partial assistance with transfers. Her diagnoses included unspecified dementia and need for assistance with personal care. An observation on 11/18/24 at 1:14 PM revealed Resident #28 was in her room, sitting on the side of the lower end of her bed facing her wheelchair. She stated she was going to get dressed and pointed at clothing laying on her wheelchair. When asked if she called for assistance, she pointed toward the call light button clipped to her pillow and stated, you can push that. When the call light button was pressed, the light above her door was not functioning, no sound was heard at the nurses' station, and the panel near the nurses' station was not lit to indicate the call was placed. Resident #28's call light was plugged into the wall in her room using a cord that was split with another cord and the call light for the other half of her room [unoccupied]. The second call light was checked and found to be functioning appropriately. Further interview with Resident #28 revealed she could not recall whether she had previous problems with her call light and she stated her memory was not very good. In an observation on 11/18/24 at 1:37 PM revealed LVN A entered Resident #28's room and asked her if she needed assistance. LVN A stated she was not Resident #28's Charge Nurse but was responding to her call light. CNA B arrived in the room and stated she was unaware her call light was not working. She checked the second call light, found it was functioning and replaced Resident #28's button with the functional one located on the other side of her room. CNA B stated she would report the malfunction to maintenance and request a replacement cord. In an interview on 11/19/24 at 2:51 PM with the Maintenance Supervisor revealed he tested the call light function daily and rotated through a different set of rooms every day. The Maintenance Supervisor stated he was unaware the call light in Resident #28's room was not functioning and would ensure the cord was replaced. He stated call light malfunctions placed residents at risk of being unable to call for assistance when needed. An observation on 11/20/24 at 7:45 AM revealed the call light in Resident #28's room had been replaced and was functioning properly.
